Was today, and it couldnt have come at a better time. She has been seriously cranky and really out of sorts the last couple days.... understandable since she's still recovering from the nasty cold, and she's getting her molars.... on top of that, she's got an ear infection. Her first one... and the first one between both my kids. Jadon's never had one.
So, its been a rough road with her lately!
In 3 months, she barely gained anything.... not even a pound. Today she weighed 19lbs 15.5oz ALMOST 20 pounds, but just not quite. So, she's now in the 10th percentile for weight. She started out life in the 50th, then jumped to the 75th, and from there on its slowed some, and really alot this time! But, her height is incredible in the 90th percentile, so, big surprise, she's tall and skinny, although she doesnt look that skinny. The doc said that her weight just couldnt keep up with her dramatic height increase. Not to mention, she only eats like 5 foods.
Food.... well, theres not much we can do at this point, but keep offering her what we are eating, but also include something that we know she will like. She's too young to say "if you dont eat what is served to you, then you dont get anything else"... so we'll just keep on doing what we're doing. Milk on the other hand, is something we really need to try to get her to drink. We've tried everything, so i dont know what else to do for that! Could get interesting!
So, lucky girl, got out of shots today since she's got an ear infection, but we go back in a couple weeks to get rechecked, and she'll have her vaccinations done then.
